MARVI: Managing Aquifer Recharge & Sustaining Groundwater Use through Village level intervention
About MARVI
MARVI puts groundwater science in the hands of the people who depend on it—farmers, schools, researchers and communities working together for water that lasts!
What is MARVI?The aim is to improve irrigation-water security and rural livelihoods by making the invisible visible.
Why groundwater?Rain moves through soil and rock into an aquifer. Wells reveal only a small window into a connected underground system.
The MARVI journeyHow can a village understand an invisible shared resource—and decide its future together?
Where MARVI worksMARVI acknowledges the women and men of the Dharta and Meghraj watersheds whose observations, experience and leadership shaped the project.
People & PartnersResearchers, practitioners and village volunteers in India and Australia working as one team.
